Dr. Blake, thoroughly tired out by an un-
usually hard days WORK, was sitting in his
office library looking absently into the open
fireplace where the flames were DANCING n
weird measure in fantastic time to the voice
of the winter wind in the old-fashioned
wide-mouthed chimney.
Bob, the Office boy, stood in back ground
of shadow awaiting the Doctors commands
for the morrow, vaguely wondering what
had come over his usually genial employer
of late.
MAY be it's as folks says-that Mis-,
Mack's bound to marry him whether he's
willin' or not" soliloquized Bob: @and if he's
afea'rd of that, don't wonder he's down in
the mouth
But all unconscious of his office bows
anxiety in his behalf, Dr.. Blake sat with
half-closed eyes in the semi obscurity, for a
pinhead of fame from gas jet at the rear
and the blaze of the wood fire itself alone
relieved the darkness of the room.
A rustic as of woman's dress caused the
Doctor to give a sudden start! At last Doris
had come.

sleeping, when men see visions and dream

Mrs. Mack sighed softly and drew hdsss
nearer. In the subdued glow of the fire
light, which, so to speak, toned down the
sharpness of her facial contour, the widow
was looking at her best, and DR.. Blake
glanced upward at her with something like
friendly admiration, vaguely thinking that

said, with bow Mr.. President, l await

With bow Mr. Thomson signified his &C
quiescence. and without word took his
